it really has been a remarkable

operation, as it not? that is something we heard from the coast guard official himself . international effort really brought together here to save the submersible. >> this entire mission was coordinated over the last four or five days in following along as we saw this morphing into an international search and rescue operation involving several countries, ignited dates and candida partnering rinng in france and great britain as well, working with commercial partners and commercial vessels, bringing in expertise and the top people in their field from all over the world to try and work on this, as well as witnessing the amounts of high tech and sophisticated equipment that was able to make it to this remote site in just a matter of hours or days. it really was remarkable, this effort that was put into tried to save the lives of these five people. >> so many lessons will be drawn from this, carl.

we are round-the-clock if you are here in boston, and this has been an international effort and part of this has been canada, where the original journey took off from, and we can go to our correspondent in st. john's newfoundland. it would have you been hearing and seeing there? >> the weather has really turned in the last half hour or so. it was really bright earlier today as the rescue mission was underway, the search operation. ships are going past and we can barely make them out in the fall, and over the last few days we have seen vessels heading out, all the way out into the atlantic ocean within 400 miles away to the record site -- wreckage site to try to find that submersible, those five men, but now we know the story has such a tragic end. the plan is we heard from the

u.s. coast guard is vessels will be mobilized from the scene over the course of the next 24 hours. there are nine vessels at the scene and technicians as well, and they will start heading back to st. john's making their way through the fog and returning here, but there will be vessels out there who will try and get to the bottom of what happened. they went to find two details in order to the families, to bring closure to the families of course in deep grief right now. >> what ha we heard from the companies that have been involved with the search and there? >> well, we got that statement from ocean gate, the company behind the expedition. that statement came before the u.s. coast guard officially

confirmed what had happened to the submersible, and they described the men on board as true explorers who share this distinct spirit of adventure, deep passion for exploring and protecting the world's oceans. we have heard from horizon maritime services to remind people, they own polar prince, the mother ship that effectively launched the titan into the atlantic ocean on sunday. i would like to read the statement that they sent to us, and they said they wish to express deep condolences and support for the family, friends, and colleagues of the titan crew . we are saddened by today's news as we continue to hold out hope for their safe return. we actually heard from the owners of horizon yesterday, which included the cirman, and there were lots of questions being asked.

that is going to happen even more now, questions about safety, safety concerns, and one of the specific things put to him was about the delay. if you remember on sunday when the submersible took his dive about one hour and 45 minutes in, it lost contact with the polar prince, and then there was a delay of more than four hours before polar prince reported it to the coast guard. he was very defensive and basilly said to us that they had followed all of the protocols, but those questions will keep coming >> many questions are being asked, and those will be addressed in the coming days and weeks ahead. our correspondent reporting from newfoundland. let's get more perspective on the story with christopher lennon's, who is a deep-sea

saturation diver, and he himself had a near-death moment in the ocean. this must be a devastating moment after days of hope and search. what is been going through your mind these last few hours as we learn this information? >> the whole thing is resonating from start to finish with me, considerinwhat happened to me all of those years ago. i have held out hope that they would be ok. we had suspicions that would not be the case. the fact that the beacon was never noticed or never released, it suggested to me this might have been what had happened to them, but nevertheless we all hoped because miracles really can happen. i like everyone else, my sympathies are with the family. it must be horrendous for them.

>> how do you think this has affected the deep-sea exploration community. we have learned this is a tightknit community. >> i thinkt will hurt them, that is for sure, and i hope these are bridges to be cross in the future. i hope it becomes a seminal moment for them. you have just been discussing the safety side of things and there were serious concerns about they are slightly autonomous to the approach of the work that they are doing and are not certified as they should be. you hope from this tragedy is born a slightly different approach to this so these horrendous debts are not completely in vain. >> what do you think change now that the search is moved from search and recovery rather to a recovery mission and they will

be looking at the debris to see exactly what happened? >> in many ways they will be faced with an equally difficult task. the previous color -- caller mentioned the implosion likely catastrophicn its nature, very violent. the debris field will be far and wide and are probably looking at small pieces. they have got the capability to recover pieces, if they can fold a back up and piece them together. it will be tough. i suspect whatever cause of this would have been something small, a small defect, a crack, a weakness in the superstructure that allowed the pressure to impinge the integrity of the craft. very tough task. >> what do you think needs to be

done in the future to prevent this type of catastrophic event again? >> it is difficult to say, because it is hard to speculate as to the nature of the craft. most people have seen the documentary about the insides of this thing, but without seeing it myself i did not want to judge too much, but i really hope it changes their approach. very close quality if you will put people's lives at risk and phenomenal pressures. i hope that leads to better standards, becomes more of a unified approach to the standards of the said for these. great degree of external auditing and external testing, so those are just standards that need to be followed before these

crafters certified to take passengers. >> that means you would advocate more regulation for this industry going forward? >> yeah it is like a lot of industries, it is quite small and niche, therefore for people wanting to do something like that, they can sign waivers and fly under the radar. i do think so, i would hope for the sake of the families and those that have been lost today that is the case, but some form of regulation does come into place to at least monitor, audit these graft. -- craft. >> last question, what do you takeway from this tragedy as we learned these were five men who were avid and passionate explorers as you were as well?

>> i think you have to take their hats off to them. they were brave. they must have been aware there was some degree of risk to what they were doing and going anyway. that is a script which we can all salute and understand, but overall it is just a real sadness. i hoped for the best. i really hoped their oxygen systems would've extended farther than we were predicting, which was entirely possible and that they might still have had a good outcome. i think there is lots of sadness , and hopefully once we are through that for the sake of the families we can move on and learn some serious lessons from this. >> thank you so much for joining us in sharing your thoughts with now to our other top story of

the day, president biden has given the indian prime minister in lavish welcome at the white house. he is only the third world leader to be feted with such pomp. mr. biden told prime minister modi that the ties between the countries would be one of the most defining relationships of the 21st century, and mr. biden is keen to win india over to woodside as russia tries to placate allies like india with cheap oil. speaking to a joint session of congress mr. modi pointed to the shared ties between the two nations. >> aiken relate to the battles of policy. i can understand the debate of

ideas and ideology, but i am delighted to see you come together today to celebrate the bond between the world's two great democracies, india and the united states. [applause] >> let's cross lift lift to samara who says she is standing by levitt the capitol -- live at the capital. >> this trip was really about the biden administration trying to strengthen relations with india to act as a counterbalance in the region in the face of china's rising might. the kinds of ceremony and welcome mr. modi has been receiving weather at the white house or the congress, a lot of what he was saying was welcome with raucous applause and chants of modi.

at the same time this distributed phase quite a lot of witticism, because that modi government domestically is frequently accused of suppressing freedom of the press, and the biden administration had been facing questions about whether they should be welcoming mr. modi with such a red carpet and a lavish affair given some of those difficulties. so i think the two sides after the late make announcements and strengthening the relationship when it comes to things like defense and technology, artificial intelligence, but there were some pointed questions being asked of both leaders with regards to human rights. >> let's jump into those details a little bit, because in the lead up to this meeting there were big deals expected on security and economic partnerships, so what did they agree upon? >> there is a lot more broadly a

lot of things the two sides agreed upon. just a window into what it is like to be a journalist, we got a white house readout of the kinds of agreements that they had come to, and there were 47 different ones. it highlights the speed they want to resolve their trade disputes and also forward thinking in terms of what they are going to do when it comes to strengthening relations, so one of the big things of course is general electric is going to be building engines for india's defense systems, and that was a big announcement. the president in the east room announced more than $2 billion in further investment coming in the areas of solar, technology sharing, and in defense, and the president has announced that they will be opening more consulates in india to try to speed up the ability with which people there can get visas to

come to the united states, so a lot of areas in which the two countries have made agreements to try and strengthen relations. remember, india is still a country that is not picked sides so to speak when it comes to the conflict in ukraine, and president biden is very to bring india into the side. >> last question on that, a lot of expectations leading up into this meeting about a possibly addressing india's neutrality. is that something the leaders discussed? >> there was discussion about that but tangentially. there was discussion about what they will do about food security and the kinds of difficulties we had seen when it came to the supply chains, and it was in that kind of a context of there were those discussions about

ukraine, but more concretely hearing india it was going to side with the war in ukraine, that was not the message being given today. >> our correspondent on capitol hill, thank you for speaking with us. let's move on to other headlines now. a court in moscow as a rejected lab data appealed by the wall street journal reporter against the extension of his pretrial detention. the american was arrested three months ago accused of espionage. it carries a possible maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. he is the first american journalist to be accused of spying in russia since the cold war. the chinese capital beijing as registered itsardest june day since reliable records began 60 years ago. it was more than 40° celsius. in some parts of the city and the temperature was just short of the highest ever recorded.

northeaste china as been experiencing extremely high temperatures for several weeks leading to research and demand for air conditioners and electricity. in brazil, the trial of former president jair bolsonaro got underway on thursday. he is accused of abusing his powers and undermining priscilla presley this democracy. katie wanted reports from the court. >> this is the document related to the trial, 43 pages of accusations and justifications. it relates to a meeting bolsonaro held here at his residence last year. he gave a speech and question the electronic voting system, saying it was prompt -- prone to hacking and fraud. he has other cases against him and other courts. what we heard today was from the

lawyer of the democratic labor party who brought the case to the court. he talked about the fact it was a clear attempt in coup. he normalized big news but bolsonaro's team said it was uptake news but a battle of narratives. the public prosecutor was clear, he said bolsonaro had been out of line and he fomented violence in a month after the election. he was talking about january 8 when all the narrow supporters storm to government buildings. the judges will come back next week to vote on the issue, but even if bolsonaro is found guilty he will not be going to prison. he will be stopped from running for office for eight years. there are criminal cases that could see him ending up behind bars. >> before we go, let's quickly update you want our top story. the u.s. coast guard confirmed
